Flashcards: Use sources to show that some Earth events occur slowly

One of the slowest events on Earth that can change the shape of the land is erosion.

What does the term erosion mean? Example: The erosion of the beach left many homes at risk for collapse. The sand is still sliding and moving closer to the ocean.

Your answer:

Breaking down of plants

Your answer:

A large tropical storm

Your answer:

Something beautiful and unique

Correct answer:

Wearing away or moving weathered materials

Explanation:

Erosion is an event that happens daily on Earth, but it happens very slowly. Erosion is the movement of the broken down materials from weathering. The dirt, plant matter, rocks, and other materials are moved to a new location, and new landforms are created while others are destroyed or changed.

Flashcards: Use sources to show that some Earth events occur slowly

The Grand Canyon is one of the United State’s best examples of erosion. Wind, rain, and the Colorado River slowly created it. These forces cut and shaped the area into what it is today. The Appalachian Mountains were a towering mountain range millions of years ago. Today their highest point is 6,684 feet tall. That same peak used to be an estimated 20,000 feet high. Erosion over time has worn the mountains down and changed them forever.

Which keywords or phrases from this text show that these events happened slowly?

Correct answer:

"slowly," "were a towering mountain range millions of years ago," "erosion over time," and "used to be"

Explanation:

Erosion is an extremely slow process, but the results are extraordinary. The clues in the text that let readers know this is a slow-moving process is "slowly," "were a towering mountain range millions of years ago," "erosion over time," and "used to be." These words and phrases all hint to something taking a long time to happen. Some processes on earth happen quickly, but not erosion!
